The Adventure of FWA! @.@ where to start!
11 years ago
Current Commission Slots OPEN!!!
This was a HUGE adventure of many things! I really have no idea where to start or what to write, as this was my first convention for furries! This chubby owl got around =D and it was AWESOME!!!
I got to meet so many amazing people! A lot of which I ended up hanging out with at this con, people I idolize and can't believe how amazingly nice all of you are in person @.@ so awesome <3 I wanna hang out more in the future when I actually know what I am doing!
I owe all thanks for this amazing trip to my wonderful amazing supertastic mate
blindboxcaribou I would have never got the opportunity to have met any of the wonderful people I am about to talk about without his help and devotion. I owe you everything darling and I love you so much, thank you for always supporting and believing in me and my art! He was also by my side most of the con, so a lot of the people I met were because of him and his charm, I was a scared mess, but I put on a brave face! OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
So my room was full of great roomates of
blindboxcaribou ,
vincent_vontrap,
slavawolf,
tyrperhaps and for a day
dizziness
, we were a fantastic set of derps and spent a lot of time dingling about doing art together, or sucking up helium and talking dirty (Tyr), or accidentally watching straight old lady under sexy young man porn (Roxie), but most importantly we got along and just enjoyed ourselves!
The first day was a blur for me, we arrived on Wednesday to prepare early for the con, and since I was riding in Latte and my car with Dizziness, we ended up getting a wonderful spot in the parking garage before going inside to loaf on the exquisite couches in the lower level of the Westin and doodle some, we all met
KodaO and he doodled his husky in his sketchbook while jammin to his cool headphones!
Sometime later I got to meet
BunnyDamour for the a short social gathering of welcomes to the new comers to FWA being me and her really cool purple paddle for being MistressLuxx! Dizzy, Latte and I went to the underground mall while we waited and ended up getting some food from Moe's which was fabulous, and we took a bag of chips and our to-go boxes with us back to the hotel (which ended with a salsa explosion on the floor!). Vince and Slava arrived shortly after and Latte and Slava got the room situated and all of us scuttled up to the room, which was 1711. We got settled (Latte brought most of the stuff up with Dizz and Slava and me and Vince chilled because my face was melting off from having no sleep for a whole day before now) ,we nommed on the muffins I made the night before and discussed plans for the con. Latte and I adventured out as we got informed that
Arkgullwing and
CBpup arrived and Ark wanted to hang out with us and we all sat downstairs while Dizz and Slava and Vince talked about con stoofs. I got to meet
hutch-the-fox who was super spry in his suit, and Cbpup and him ended up suiting while Latte and I watched and snapped pictures! I also got to meet the great and wonderful
yiffxtrm in suit, and gave him hugs and took a picture. We all eventually parted ways and crawled up to our rooms for sleep.
The next day, Thursday, Latte and I helped Dizziness settup shop in the dealers room where I got to see one of my favorite friends
Corvuspointer and gave him all of the hugs, then I got a dealers ribbon and checked out some people's tables to see where they would be located for further snuffles. I was also introduced to the Artist Alley and a HUGE line for registration, Ark pulled us aside and said we should wait till after 6PM as the line would be down and we could be in Artist Alley before that without a badge, Latte and I ended up wandering to the room again, I got lost on the elevator and held hostage by the hotel staff for not having a room key XD so I had to go down from the 33rd floor back to the 17th to get to the room, and Latte was out looking for me! Eventually we found eachother and worked out going to the Atlanta Aquarium, which was fucking awesome!! I took soo many pictures, that place is a must see for someone new to Atlanta! It was a little expensive for admission being almost 40$ a head, but well worth that amount! Watching the whalesharks vacuum up their krill from the tiny tiny rafts they had at the top of the whole tank. I think it was what we all needed for the perfect start for FWA, and Dizzy made off with the cutest plush of a whale shark she named Walter! We did a quick detour to nom at W(a)ffle House, where everyone enjoyed breakfast at like lunchtime! Those hashbrowns man *drools* Eventually we all made it to the Westin again, we made it to the room and then wandered around for a while looking at everyone already suited up and enjoying themselves, Latte and I checked out arist alley as Vince and Slava had settup shop and we sat down to do the same for a while around when we registered as freshmen for this semester of FWA ^.~ . I had NO idea what I was doing so I had Latte scrawl a quick sheet for prices, and I got my first customer
DrachenHero Who was sooo sweet, I think we took up a lot of his time, but he ordered one of my little bottle badges and a sticker. I couldn't have been more excited, I didn't know what to do with myself! And then more magical things happened as the day got older, I got to meet some of my favorite artists on FA including but not limited too
tamyra and
pram And
l2edPanda DX I am dying thinking about this already. I also met
DarkJinti and
Syrae-Universe who Latte immediately commissioned on site and made me all embarrassed and blushy, those are great people and I am so glad we got to meet and hang out with them.
Sometime after the crazy night of meeting all of my wetdreams, we went back to the room, and worked on some our commission page, because everyone gave me advice about how my prices were too low and I listened and wanted to correct that before too long. The time after this point is sort of a blur, I know I enjoyed looking at things around the hotel, I got stuck on the elevator and eventually ended up in
Fluke 's room as he had invited us before con to come over and it was 6811 and I got to see some of my favorite people
wewf,
themanifesto,
~Azy~ and
Fluke along with
AusiDogChance (who later commissioned us) and meeting some new friends who's FA's I have not discovered yet @.@ I am so sorry! We ended up going out to party and to the rave for the night where I got to meet a few other furries including
SparkleKreations very own Karma dancing in suit on the dance floor and and some other very nice furries. We were so tired we went back to 6811 and then everyone came in and and chatted a bit, I drown Fluke in my tits to give him a hug and he went "Mmmm boobs on my face" then we went back to our room and crashed.
The next day,Friday, I was at Dizzy's table where I watched over
coffeesheizen for a brief moment and then I met
Nut-Case accross from us, jumping in between artist alley to talk to Latte and back to dealers den to check on Dizzy, it was very busy and I got a lot more commissions to work on than I expected with my new price sheet! Thank you guys so much for the help! I ended up getting more nommies from the unground mall going to Bistro 7 for gyros with Dizzy and Latte in the evening, that was amazing! They put soo much meat on those things! Latte and I spent the rest of the night wandering the halls and trying not to get in trouble as we greeted and talked to various furs we ran into
Alasterfox in the elevator, and he was soo overly cute and friendly! I had met
rainartsink and she signed our badges! I was excited, and her lovely husband LittleBlueWolfLeo who told me about his Tim Burton collection (which I am totally gonna talk to him about). We eventually got back to the room and worked on some commissions, one in particular for tinyfawks before crashing to sleep and waking up to finish the commission and race down to the Aritist Alley.
This is Saturday, I was finishing up Tiny's sketch he ordered and we got commissioned for another sketch, not colored in his handbook and a modelsheet for Feilen's kitty cat, which I will be doing this next week. I ended up working on the bottle comissions more and a few more were ordered along with a cute chibi sketch for a lady that makes little toothless shoulderpets or 3 or her characters in kigurumis chibi style destroying cardboard buildings. It was ultra fun!
Then I met Ambient_mutt finally, he was soo awesome and I gave him a huge hug, while Ark controlled Artist Alley like a champ and made it amazing! And I met Sheeplikeapples and he had me add him on FA :3 because he's awesome, and poojawa who hung out with us in Artist Alley for a lot of the rest of the time (he's great). And Jeani commissioned us *gasps* and Cupcake143 with her cute corgi! And later that night I got to meet a bunch more people including hanging out with sammy-skunk and his wonderful girlfriend Jeani and I got to meet Wesen as Wubs until hotel staff kicked us off that floor for being too loud. Latte and I got more commissions done and we just chilled and were cute together for that night.
Sunday was really a blur of stuff as I met even more people like :iconMuttMonster : and xK2x and her cute girlfriend love Paigeroy who eats all da cakes! :3 I also got to sit beside citralove and his awesome hilarious art, I gives him poptart and now we are friends! :3 and Stephicat commissioned us and gave me chocolate covored oreoes *dies*! Then Slava, Vince, Latte and I went out to the mexican restaurant beside the hotel and chowed down for a good sit and eat sorta place, my tacosalad was amazing! :3 And when we went back inside they went to suit, and I got to check on Dizzy and found Latte had secret ordered badges for us from Rika and I got to meet her mate noctome they are an fantastic couple, and we hung out when all the dealers were packed up.
Then I spent the rest of the time chilling with people like asiri talking about future cons and commissions and I helped Corvus pack up his car with Jack. Later I got together with Jack, Tamyra, Pram, and RedPanda, and everyones boyfriends and girlfriends and got to meet owlizard and his lovely girlfriend coffeesheizen (Coffee) and Pmoss and we all doodled and then I followed Owl and Jack to try and find alcohol and I got the massage of a lifetime from Jack and some great pictures of Latte and Jack being adorable. The rest of the night was spent getting ready for the morning drive and cleaning up the room so we could pack everything in.
Over all :3 this was a lot of fun and I met sooo many amazing people! Thank you all for being part of my first FWA, there will be many more in the future!
Stay tuned for my Commission List journal so I can get that straightened out, I plan on doing streams on weekdays (I am still working out when)
I will be editing this stuff later because I know I make mistakes
